Chef's Tip

Why do people grill romaine lettuce?

For a few reasons...

Grilling lettuce creates a wonderfully caramelized, smokey flavour. And the grill gives you crispy insides contrasting with the caramelized and charred outside.

Put a Bibb On!

Is Boston lettuce and Bibb lettuce the same?

The only real difference between the two is the size of the leaves and the colour, Boston tends to be reddish, where Bibb is light green. Boston or Bibb lettuce is excellent on a burger or chicken sandwich and it really adds a premium touch.
